Callie Marie Menicucci

We welcomed baby Callie at 1:01am on February 7th, 2012. She came at 38 weeks 4 days, weighed 7lbs, 2oz and was 19 3/4 inches long.

She resembles big sister Amber with her olive colored skin and dark hair, she's very sweet :)
Here are some pictures, enjoy.

Callie 3 weeks old

These pictures were taken by my sweet friend, Michele! Thank you so much!

6 days, and smiling in her sleep :)

Love this one! Callie is my biggest baby (not by much) and seems to have a little more chunk than the others did.

Lia is very 'hands on'

We keep her safe from the wild toddlers in the pack and play

Lia is the wildest one. She wants to hold her ALL THE TIME and gets mad when her turn is over. She is playing more with the baby dolls and needs the practice! Jack is super cute with Callie and helpful. Amber is excited to be a big sister again and enjoys holding her. Ethan says he'd rather not hold her, but when he thinks we're not looking, he goes and tries to sooth her and touches her cheek, whispering "don't cry!" it's really incredibly sweet! The transition from 5 to 6 kids has gone smoother than I anticipated, except for the lack of sleep! Brian was able to take some full and half days off this time around to help me with the kids, it was very nice. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law watched them for a couple days too so I could have some alone time with Callie. It was great and very appreciated!
I'll be taking Callie to meet Grandma and Grandpa Foreman later in March, (since we aren't going back to WI as a family until September for Jackie's wedding) and I can't wait!

Amber and Ethan's 4th Birthday! (And more pictures)

We had a family party on Sunday evening and then followed up with a fun Pajama Party Play Date with facepainting for their friends on the Monday morning of their real birthday. We all had so much fun!! Their castle birthday cake was a real hit!
